Salford City have signed striker Jay Bird for an undisclosed fee from Exeter City.
Bird joins with the League Two club on a two-year deal, having spent just 12 months in Devon.
He managed only two goals in 19 games for Exeter last season, but then scored six in 11 matches during a loan spell in the National League with Rochdale.
"Last season just showed how well they were doing, and I definitely think that by coming here and being a part of this team, something can happen this year," said Bird.
Salford finished eighth last season, missing out on the play-offs on the final day.
Salford City will sign Huddersfield Town centre-back Loick Ayina when his contract with the League One club expires.
The Terriers announced last month that the Congolese defender would be released after six years on their books, during which time he made two league appearances for the club.
The 22-year-old also made four appearances for Boston United on loan and played 12 games each for Dundee United and Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.
Ayina, who has twice been called up for the Republic of the Congo international squad but has yet to win a cap, will sign a two-year contract for the Ammies.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
